• “Dainty Daze” is just dreamy: it’s a pastel periwinkle crème that’s equal parts lavender and baby blue
• “Chuffed to Bits” is a bright and powdery, cool-toned light blue
• “In the Clouds” just might be the perfect baby blue
• “Amalfi Love” has a bit more purple in its base than “Chuffed to Bits”—but is turned up in saturation (when compared to “Dainty Daze”)
• “Reverse the Charges” is a bright robin’s egg blue
• “Whipped Blueberry” wears beautifully over bare nails or any crème polish (especially baby blues): it’s packed with ultrafine pale blue and silver reflects

Which Colors Go Best with Baby Blue?

Baby blue is a soft and delicate color that pairs well with a range of other colors. For a more “neutral” look, pair your baby blue nails with shades of white, cream, and gray. For a bolder look, pair your baby blue nails with bright shades of pink or yellow.

Here are some baby blue color combos we love here at Londontown:

• “Dainty Daze” with “Pampas Beige” is sweet and sophisticated—and perfect for weddings, baby showers, or any time you want to add a pop of color to your usual nude mani-pedi pairing
• “Chuffed to Bits” and “Fruit Tella” deliver that summery contrast whenever you’re craving color (or need a solid mani-pedi pairing for vacation)
• “In the Clouds” with “Buttercup” makes for the prettiest spring look: both are soft pastels that complement one another perfectly
• “Amalfi Love” and “
• “Reverse the Charges” with “Flashback,” a near-neon orange, are a must-try if you love to make a statement
• “Pressed Petals” both have just enough warmth where the tones are perfectly matched—even though they’re essentially complementary on the color wheel
• “Whipped Blueberry” and “Reverse the Charges” are meant to be mixed, matched, and layered
• “Cheshire Plains” with any milky white polish—like our cult-favorite Illuminating Nail Concealer—lets the baby blue glitter pop

#LondonTips: How to Apply Nail Polish Like a Pro

To achieve perfect baby blue manicure or pedicure without going to the nail salon, follow these simple steps:

1. Prep. Begin by removing any old polish, filing your nails, and pushing back your cuticles.
2. Start with base coat. Apply a thin layer of any Londontown base coat to better help the nail polish adhere to your nail and prevent staining (especially if you use a brighter shade).
3. Apply your polish. Apply 1-2 coats of your favorite peach lakur. Be sure to wait for each coat to dry completely before applying the next one.
4. Finish with top coat. Add a thin layer of your favorite top coat. This will add shine (unless you prefer a matte finish for matte baby blue nails) and protect your manicure from chipping or fading.

A few more pro tips and tricks:

• Let the baby blue polish dry completely before applying additional layers or touching anything. This will help prevent nicks or smudging—but if you’re in a rush, use Accelerating Drying Oil to speed up the dry time and keep Instant Smudge Fix on hand just in case you get a dent. 
• Apply a fresh layer of top coat every few days to maintain that protective, outermost barrier for your polish. Don’t forget to “cap” each nail too: swiping your lakur and top coat along the edge of your nail will further protect the tip from chipping or peeling.
• Keep your cuticles hydrated! Apply Nourishing Cuticle Oil, or Restorative Nail Cream. Moisturization is key to a manicure or pedicure that lasts (which is why we’ve formulated our lakur nail polishes with Florium Complex: our proprietary blend of botanical extracts and oils that help keep nails feeling nourished and strong).
• Wear gloves whenever you’re cleaning or washing the dishes. Wherever possible, avoid direct contact with cleaning products with harsh chemicals that can strip your skin and nails.
